really really disappointed...

It seems that all I am doing lately is moaning about my lack of weight loss...I have lost 2.5 kilos in three and a half weeks which is not a lot- and these were my first three weeks on Atkins. that translates to less than 6 pounds. I am so disappointed and I swear I am doing everything right...I just don't get why it works for everyone else and not me.... and i am being so strong willed all the time whilst everyone is shoving chocolates and cakes and pizza in my face. Why?

Hi hun, I know how you feel - I've only lost 2lbs in 2 weeks but don't give up. We'll get there! Have you tried cutting out cheese?What other snacks are you having? I'm going to give it another week and then I am cutting SF jelly and cheese out as I feel a little like you - what am I doing wrong lol!! Also, are you drinking plenty of water? Keep your chin up, there is loads of help on here xx

I really am doing everything by the book. I have limited cheese and I count my cream/ butter/ carb intake. I really don't want to be fat when I move to Cyprus in July. It's so hot out there and I don't want to be wearing a corset as that is what I do now cos my tummy just seems to be getting in te way. I don't want to be a size 18 either as most girls my age out there are a size 8... I will definitely keep at it! It has to come off and I am in ketosis. Maybe someone up there is trying to test my willpower... Will I let them win? Hell no!!!Are you with me people???

is crazy

Jim- yes my OH and I are both from there although I was born here. We have decided to move back as it's just easier to build a life without having to pay so many taxes, and its a safer environment! I am looking forward to it I just wish I get a bit slimmer its way too hot out there in summer to wear clothes that cover you up!
